[shintedtades]

D. Boon's favorite song

[balderdashman]

I used to listen to this song from the record my dad owned over and over and over as a kid in the early 70's. What memories!

[hornman71]

@balderdashman I did the same thing.

[balderdashman]

@hornman71 - so you must know that album jacket as well as I then! Ha ha ha... too awesome! I was pretty embarrassed to be enjoying my dad's music and I generally only snuck the record out to play when my folks weren't around.

[hornman71]

@balderdashman I grew up without tv, so it was listen to the radio or records. This song was on a various artist album. I am 40 and the album is just as old as I am, this was my favorite song along with Dolly Parton singing "Mule Skinner Blues".The only 2 songs I can remember on that album.

Of course Bakersfield is in the South!

I bet Buck and his Buckaroos could play three sets like it was nothing.

Another #1 hit for Buck Owens on the Country & Western charts. It was the 172nd #1 C&W song of the Rock Era. It also hit #1 on the Canadian RPM Country Tracks charts. And Buck Owens was now being seen in households across America thanks to the CBS hit show, Hee Haw.

Great song. All to familiar. I miss this music...



[squirell1952]

LISTEN TO A DIFFERENT SONG ALTOGETHER BY ROSE BRENNAN WITH THE SAME TITLE. THIS VERSION BY BUCK OWENS IS NOT EVEN MELODIOUS.

JULY 3. 2011.

Of course it's Susan Raye. It's not even up for debate. Geez! And Buck did not write the song about Merle Haggard. In fact, even though his name is on it, Buck didn't write the song.

[bakoboy63]

Buck seeing the future of whats was coming put a lot into this, and this was story telling, great mini movie, Buck put a lot of stock in future in stuff like this too!

[tomstu1978]

[Katcrazy7]

That is Susan Raye in this video! Pretty lady!

[landrykkb]

I've always considered this song a sequel to Sweet Rosie Jones.

It might be Susan... Kris was in a lot of his promos for other songs about that time..Ruby....The Girl Made In Japan.... I can't tell for sure.. it does look like Susan the more I look at it.

[moregood1963]

Thanks, this is the best video of this I have seen. Is that Susan Raye?

[gtrjames1]

@moregood1963 That's Kris Black...I believe... she worked for Buck.

[moregood1963]

@gtrjames1 Sure about that? Looks like Susan Raye to me. I compared her photos from back then and sure looks like Susan.

[moregood1963]

Thanks, this is the best video of this I have seen.
